Health Ministry Launches Probe after Nine People Food Poisoned
Nine members of the same family have been food poisoned and transferred to the state-run Rafik Hariri University Hospital in Beirut, the Health Ministry announced on Sunday.
The ministry did not mention the source of the food but noted that it has launched a probe into the incident.
More than a year ago, Health Minister Wael Abou Faour launched an unprecedented food safety campaign that saw the closure and fining of several restaurants, grocery stores, slaughterhouses and farms.
The ministry's measures have also targeted some beauty centers, hospitals and daycares.
